Sort Your Life Out Unpacked

Tidying expert Dilly Carter chats to a celebrity guest and unboxes three revealing mystery objects from their home that reveal what is really important to them. Dilly asks whether they are going to keep, donate or recycle the items and, along the way, we learn how to organise and sort our own lives.

Sort Your Life Out Unpacked is an Optomen production for BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds.
